Shown here are examples of BAS-700 hardware configured into Flex 56 and Flex 60 systems. Start with a BAS-704 LonWorks processor, and then add one or more BAS-700 series I/O modules.

LonWorks I/O is available in a variety of analog and discrete modules.
Flex 56 functional profiles make system integration easier.

FEATURES

• Large point count, low cost per point
• Expandable to 56 I/O points per node (plus state inputs)
• Both analog and discrete I/O types supported
• LonMark sensor and actuator functional blocks for each point (excluding state inputs)
• State Input functional blocks provide 64 points per network variable
• Convenient 3.25" height snap track mounting
• Integrated power supply, 5VDC @ 2A

You already know that "one size fits all" often doesn't really fit "all". That's why we created the BAS-700 Building Block approach that lets you create your own system. You simply plug together the modules you need! We offer an array of processor options and I/O modules. Packaging is simple and economical with the cut-to-size snap track concept. Creating a custom system is easy and economical with the new BAS-700 series.

Our BAS-700 Flex System brings our building block approach to LonWorks by implementing a flexible I/O system based on LonMark Sensor and Actuator Node Objects. The Flex System may be configured with anywhere from 2 to 56 I/O points, including both analog and discrete points. The program interface (XIF) remains the same. You simply plug in the I/O as it suits your hardware layout requirements. Then, through configuration properties, you assign the I/O points to functional profiles within Flex 56 or Flex 60.

The Flex System has the default configurations outlined below. However, many of our Flex customers request configurations that are unique to their requirements. The mix of inputs and outputs may be changed. Control Solutions is happy to provide customized configurations. Simply contact us with your requirements.

The updated Flex System includes 3 state input objects. Each object can monitor dry contact state for up to 64 inputs. The BAS-7124 monitors up to 24 state inputs. Fill up the track with eight of the BAS-7124 and the Flex System can monitor a total of 192 dry contacts. The photo below shows an example configured for 96 dry contact inputs.

LonWorks I/O can include up to 192 dry contact inputs in a single node.

The state inputs can be mixed with other analog and discrete I/O up to the capacity of hardware expansion or functional blocks available. Use the BAS-700 System Calculator to help you configure the system you need. Flex LonWorks I/O can include a mix of analog and discrete I/O points.

The Flex/NCP configuration is for non-LonMark applications where generic access to LonMark SCPT files is not available. One time configuration is done via network variables only.

These BAS-700 products may be used to configure a Flex System:

Type Model
Processor BAS-704
Discrete Input BAS-714, BAS-718, BAS-7124
Discrete Output BAS-722, BAS-724, BAS-728
Analog Input BAS-734, BAS-738
Analog Output BAS-742

The standard BAS-700 software provides SNVT access to I/O points in the Flex/56 configuration. Control Solutions will be happy to configure a custom system for you. We will modify the Flex/56 profile to your requirements, and provide your own program ID and XIF file.

First, you select the maximum configuration of I/O you will want in your profile. Then we create a customized version of software for you. You may then mix and match any valid combination of I/O modules up to your maximum configuration.

For custom applications, the BAS-700 LonWorks system can be readily programmed using a NodeBuilder®. We provide a Neuron C source library of standard functions to aid you in interfacing to the various BAS-700 modules.

Control Solutions BAS-700 provides a building block approach to LonWorks I/O.

When the one size that "fits all" doesn't fit you, create your own size with the BAS-700 series building block approach!
